As we enter into another promising academic year and welcome a fresh cohort of medical students and residents, we can be sure this year will be heightened by the excitement of being the first tuition-free medical school in the country. So many of the innovations introduced at NYU Langone depend upon the commitment, effort and dedication of our faculty - from the admissions process through undergraduate, graduate and continuing medical education. While the Educator Community looks forward to featuring the many people and programs that set us apart and contribute to our national reputation and success, teams across the institution are looking to develop collaborative programming to advance the education mission even further. This includes skill development in teaching and assessment; promoting educational innovation, leadership and scholarship; and enhancing recognition both internally and externally.

Master of Health Professions Education Program Incoming Cohort
Launched in 2015, the Master of Health Professions Education (MHPE) Program, a collaboration between NYUSOM and Maastricht University in the Netherlands, is a two-year program designed to expand the capacity of physicians and other health professions to lead excellent educational programs and conduct high impact, rigorous educational research. This year, the program welcomes its' incoming cohort:
Michael Allen, MD candidate, Albert Einstein College of Medicine Anne Dembitzer, MD; VA NY Harbor Christina Escobar, MD; New York University Aron Mednick, MD; New York University Kira Melamud, MD; New York University Adin Nelson, MD; Rutgers New Jersey Medical School Jacqueline Paulis, MD; New York University Deepak Pradhan, MD; New York University Shreya Trivedi, MD; New York University Elizabeth Yetter, MD; New York University
The Office of Medical Education, as it does each year, has examined the pre-clerkship curriculum looking for areas of improvement. This year, the Stage 1 curriculum that includes the first eighteen months of medical school, will be renamed the Science and Skills of Medicine. This is to ensure that students have a better understanding of the connection between stages and how the basic sciences are foundational to clinical medicine. In addition, the students’ Core Foundations of Medicine (CFM) course has been restructured, breaking it into two separate but related modules: DNA, Organelles and Cells (DOCs) and Infection and Immunity. Lastly, the Core Principles of Medicine (CPM) modules were renamed for the organ system being studied, such as Stage-1 Cardiology, Stage-1 Pulmonology, etc. Though these changes may seem cosmetic, we believe that they will serve to better define the vital link between molecular and clinical education. In addition, each lecture, seminar, conference and exam is being reviewed and modified as necessary to ensure that our top-echelon students receive a top echelon education.

Virtual reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are poised to transform how we teach and learn in education. This two-part course demonstrates methods to adapt what these technologies do well to medical education. As these technologies become more affordable, we can begin to realize the potential of immersive computing which uses both our bodies and senses to control computers and applications, reduces barriers to mastering spatial relations in three dimensions, expands data visualization techniques, and offers on-demand simulation possibilities. CME credits available and a certificate will be presented upon successful completion of the course.
